Garnett for the defendant. The answer of Mr. Cashia: was filed before the case was argued, and in it he states that at the Dec. term, 1850, of the Sa- reme Courtof the United States the case of Gaines against Henvan was Pending. in which | she set up claim under an alleged will of Daniel Clark; that before the case was called for sr- gument it was represented to said Cashing by | an eminent member of the bar that he been solicited and was expected to ap- pear in the cause as the leading coan- sel, Dut he could not appear, would be an act of charity and generosity on bis (C."s) part to step into cause, as she was then destitute of means of | paying counsel otherwise than by contract for compensation. Said Cushing reluctantly con- sented to undertake the argument onsuch terms as the esteemed friend of Mrs. Gaines saw ft to arrange, and the six per cent. contract was made. On reading the proj engagement, he perceived that it would most onerous to him, because redaced to cash the compensation | would be very small. Nevertheless, he entered into the casé as a matter of professional duty rather than from inclination, and in ignorance of the perverse character of Mrs. G., the sub- sequent experience of which proved to him to be @ greater burden than the argument of her causes. The judgment in the case against Hen- nan was rendered anbseq uent to the date of the secession of Louisiana, and of course no | mandate to the United States circuit court of that district was available. Mrs. G. soon after left Washingtoa for Mont- gomery, in the seceded state of Alabama, and afterwards went to Richmond, and resided in Virginia and North Carolina until at or near the termination of the war, and moved thence to Leper ag and he (C ) frequently commani- cated with her, commencing April, 1865, con- tinuing to the end of the y. affairs, more especially to aid her in an effort she was making to dispose of all her claims to some who were inclined to purchase for large | sums of money, and which sale would have relieved her of 8 years’ labor and trials, which sbe has wasted m exaggerated conceptions of the value of her claims and of the solidity of their foundation. These negotiations were | continued to 1866, and also in ‘6 and in regard to matters of importance to her outside of the contract of February, 161. Meanwhile, without advising with him she had taken out a mandate, caused the same to be executed and sale made. When reproached for this action, she being desirous that he (0.) should argue the new appeals taken to the atone for her conduct by empowering him to In due time the appeals came oP and he ar- eS them and obtained decisions in her fayor. rior to the date of those arguments it becyme important for the interest of Mrs G. to sénd an ; 2gent to New Orleans for several objects, at them to relieve the prosecution of her cases in | by reason of a controversy between her and the District judge. Mra, G. had in her employ at the time'as @ general agent Mr. O. D. Barrett, of this city, whom she engaged to go to New Orleans, bat she being in straitened circum- | stances ‘applied to Hon.

To the assertion that he bad denounced her in the most violent and indecorous manner he answers ‘that he has repelied with indignation her habititaal and frantic calumniations and vituperations of | him.” The court took the papers. deorbalsnetn ath tok A Wasninar Cumarss’ Cavrcu.—lev. William Me of Washington city, has sent a letter to Whittingham, nouncing his withdrawal from the Protestant Episcopal Charch, and his union with the Re- formed Episcopal Church. Mr. McGuire is a son of the late Kev. Dr. McGuire, of Virginia, £0 widely known and greatly venerated. He 1s a clergyman of fine talents and scholarship, and the Baltimore Sun thinks he will be a very valuable acquisition to the ‘new movement led by Bishop Cummins. As a preacher he pos | sestes marked ability. In his letter to Bishop | Whittingham he says: “The opposition of the two systems is diametric and indestructible Protestant and Komish sactamentaziasm c: not now live and breathe together any more than they did when the deep and vital contra- | rleties of Church parties in the sixteenth c tury culminated in the separation of the blessed Keformation.
